Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne Rumunii
Romania’s energetic security

Summary/Abstract: Demand for energy is still growing. This is an undeniable fact and a problem for every country in the World. The economical growth of the countries and their development requires considerable amounts of energy and generates huge energy consumption. In the first part of this publication the author shows the structure of the energy market in Romania. The second section focuses on the comparison of the energy markets in Romania and Poland at the beginning of the second decade of the twenty-first century. Romania lacks a new strategy for the energy sector. The solution may be shale gas (a change since the beginning of 2013), renewable energy, nuclear power, coal or the country’s involvement in international energy projects. In the case of Poland the strategy is determined by the document Polityka energetyczna Polski do 2030 roku (Poland’s energy policy up to 2030). The recommended solutions are: the construction of a nuclear power station, unconventional gas, Świnoujście LNG Terminal, renewable energy and energy from coal. The main problem associated with coal is too high emission of CO2, which does not comply with the EU’s strategy (low emissivity). Clean coal technology is a proposed solution. The publication ends with a short summary and conclusions.
